By my count there are 57 women and 143 men here....

According to my count there are 57 women and 143 men here, which means that if every gurl find a guy there would still be 86 men who would remain single!

Now let's assume that the % of gay men here is roughly equal to the population at large around 10% last time I checked...which means that 10% of 143 is 14.3 gay men...which might bring our figures down for other men down to 71.7...and we still have not factored the amount of lesbian athesits here....5.7...which is likely higher for here...so I will say a modest increase of 15% lesbians here.....I should actually raise the bar on the gay men here too, I would think...but anyway...these are not exact figures.....:)

So that brings us to 48 women seeking men here and about 129 men seeking women....which means that the gap is 81 men are out of luck...and that's of course if everyone here was compatable with each other which of course....would not be the case since we know that the div. rate in this country is 50%! Well that leaves us with only 24 women here who would actually stay in their relationship and that would mean that only 24 men would still have a relationship and the rest .... which isn't saying too much...and....*starts to cry...

But seriously why are there always a majority of men on these atheists sites? I mean are we going to have to fight over each women like in Saudi Abria? Or will there be like for every atheist women three atheist men by her side? Some sort of atheist women's polygamy? ....

I mean this must be great for the women atheists right? You have more too choose from? If one atheist man does not suite your fancy well you can always find a large pool to choose from again....I would suspect that it is even more rational for a women to be an atheist than a man! Unless you are a gay man....?

Which brings me to my point is it rational to be an atheist male if your goal is a relationship with a female? hmm...

Does not believing in something that does not exist really matter considering how it can effect one's dating and relationship life? If so should we settle down with our pet dog and live in isolation for the rest of our lives? And why am I an atheist again? God must of cursed me. Is honesty really that important folks? What social good does it really bring? Maybe I could just brainwash myself into belief again...motivation is sure there...oh but the gods of reason say no!

This of course brings up another valid question: If atheist men outnumber atheist women and women are often the ones teaching the next generation of human babies....and they are all religious...what kind of world is this going to look like: Idiocracy.

And of course there is the elephant in the room: Why would there be more male atheists than female atheists? Is the stereotype true....you all know what it is....women are more prone to feeling and emotion thus they are more prone to religion and irrationalism....men are themselves emotional but mostly rational compared to women...hence logic suggests that is why there are so few women atheists.

Does a feminist want to counter the data in some way? I'd hate for that to be the truth.....if it were I suppose marrying my dog would be my next goal....because if that is true, and all women are irrational on some other level atheist women would be just as irrational as other faith based women, therefore I'm not sure what the difference is?

I haven't read the whole thread, but something Fox didn't include in his opening post is the issue of age. I'm 22, but there's a good number of people here in their thirties or older. So divide up the single members by decade or half-decade, and the results are probably more depressing for those on here (at least straight men) who are looking, such as myself. (Of course, I don't have a vehicle right now, which would make things difficult, anyway.)

Answering to a comment on the first or second page, I actually did come here looking, not to talk about "singleness". But of course, the biggest problem is how few people (especially women) there are. The other problems are the same as on any online dating site (location, compatibility, etc.).

(I must shamefully admit, though, that I forgot to leave the group when I had a girlfriend for about one month at the end of last year.)

True Mark: Few people here means we are indeed needles in haystacks looking for other needles in haystacks. But then again, if you don't ask the answer is always no.

Personally, I've resisted singles-anything forever. Call me a sap but I'm a romantic who believes it will happen when it happens and if I'm actively looking I'll end up seeing something that isn't there.

But then an extremely cool couple I'm friends with, I just found out they met through personal ads. Like me, neither had any faith in the process. It was a small college paper with only a handful of people. Each got talked into it by friends and lo and behold, here they are today.

So I worked up my courage, and here I am. If there are no fellow needles in my immediate haystack, I figure I at least get to commune with a few interesting folks online, eh?

Women are so much more prone to irrationality than men, it's so true! And we can see this by the way women have historically held every position of influence in the invention and hierarchy of all the world's organised religions, ever.
